Private Lesson Rates (30 min)

Group Lessons & Rates (30 min)

Group lessons have two options, Beginner and Intermediate. The classes have up to six students per instructor and are offered Monday through Friday in the evenings and also on Saturday mornings.

In Beginner level classes, the instructors work on water adjustment, floating and balance in the water, an introduction to basic swim strokes and kicks, and most importantly, water safety. The focus of this group is to develop comfort in the water and to teach children aquatic independence. During the lessons, children will sit on the stairs or wall while the instructor demonstrates a skill. Then, the instructor will work individually with each child to practice the demonstrated skill. Children are generally assisted by the instructor until the child is independent enough to be able to perform the skills on his or her own.

In the Intermediate level classes, the instructor works on the introduction of proper swim technique for all freestyle and backstrokes, with introductions to proper technique for breaststroke, and butterfly, as well as side-breathing, flip turns, wall starts, transitions, and most importantly water safety. The focus of this group will be to develop proper swimming technique. The instructor will stand away from the wall while swimmers perform the required skill to and from the instructor. Some instructor assistance will be provided in the water.

MASTER SWIM

Adult Master Swim: If you are looking for a Master's Swim program that will increase your endurance, speed, confidence and improve your stroke techniques, then Gold's Master's is for you. Coached workouts are designed with an emphasis on stroke mechanics, sets and drills that will inspire you to learn all you can in the world of competitive swimming. To Join Master's Swim, you must be able to swim 200 yards freestyle (8 lengths of the pool, non-stop) and one other competitive stroke fairly well to qualify. Master's Swim is NOT for adult beginners.

• Master's Swim Card - $40 for 8 punch card sessions

Junior Master Swim: This program is for kids, ages 9-15, and it is run as a pre-comp program on Saturday mornings. The emphasis is on technique work during the first half of the practice and moves into basic conditioning training in the second half of the hour. A non-exclusive list of the thing we focus on include:

• Proper freestyle technique
• Stroke technique (backstroke, breastwork and butterfly)
• Flip turns
• Open turns
• Introduction to circle swimming
• Introduction to interval training

It is recommended that your kids drop into one of our intermediate swim lessons (Monday - Thursday evening or Saturday morning) or have a private lesson to make sure that they have the basics before beginning the program. As mentioned before, emphasis will be on technique. We do not want kids to move into this program if we feel they will develop bad stroke habits, therefore the instructors handle the sign ups for this class personally.

• Junior Master Swim Card - $90 for 6 punch card sessions
